In which I keymash A WHOLE BUNCH
1x14 "Nicodemus"
Well, I got my wish for Lana being a stronger person. Except... not.
Chloe continues to rock my world, and Lex is deeeefinitely shifting farther towards to ambiguous side of "morally ambiguous."
This ep reminded me of that Stargate ep where some alien plague made people regress to a Neanderthal-like state (that was an episode, not fic, right?). I suspect every sci fi show has to do some plot about regression. This one was fun. I've never seen any of The Dukes of Hazzard, but I got the feeling much of infected!Daddy Kent was a hat tip to his previous role.
Other than that, not much to say about this. A fun ep. Now, more!
1x15 "Stray"
AKA WINNER OF THE BEST LINE EVER AWARD.
I love love love the Warrior Angel bits! So many lines about protecting the weak and such that aaaalmost read as cheesy but somehow don't. Hearts! Hearts to the writers!
Ok, that was a REALLY cool shot. THe most out of focus shape was somehow the focal point. The viewer instantly knows it's Ryan's dad/guardian/bad guy, but there's nothing other than stillness over Ryan's shoulder to actually indicate that. WIN!
Ok, possibly the halo of light and the angelic chorus was a touch tooo cheesy. Still. Hearts!
BWHUH? Lex has a sibling?! Julian?
Gotta be dead. Aaand there we are.
Question: How far away is Metropolis from Smallville? It's clearly within driving distance for an evening out, but still reasonably far away. An hour's drive? An hour and a half? 2? Not that it reeeeally matters. Just curious.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Lex: It's a foil, Clark. Every hero should have one.
*dies*
THis is the BEST EP EVER, just for that line.
And man, Lex sure does get beat up a lot. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.
For serious? Julian? I SINCERELY hope that's a decoy password because that's the crappest security EVER. Oh, good. It was.
I kinda feel like Ryan's a set up for a Superman-era character. One from the comics, I mean. I don't know the comics well enough to identify him, though.
And can I tell you how much I'm enjoying--
AHAHAHAHAHAH "DIGGING FOR KRYPTONITE ON THIS ONE WAY STREET."
*dies again*
Was interrupted mid-flail by a lyric that proved my point. Brilliant! Was going to say that I'm loving the 90s rock soundtrack!
1x17 "Reaper"
AKA Daddy issues galore!
$10 says this is going to be about death not working the way it's supposed to (either people not dying or someone has the power to stop death).
In retrospect, that's reasonably obvious, what with the ep being called "Reaper." Well done, self. Well done.
Ummmm, show? THAT'S NOT THE WAY TO DEAL WITH ASSISTED SUICIDE!
Ok, fine fine. You needed to kill him. But there were SO MANY ways you could have killed him and still introduced his dying Mum. *squinty eyes*
Why hello there, Mustache!
Aww, man. Family drama. This I'm not looking forward to.
"Mobile Meals:" it's like Meals-on-Wheels without the copyright infringement!
Daddy Kent: How can he walk around if it's [his heart] not beating?
Clark: How can he turn people to ash?
Alina: YOU HAVE A SON WITH SUPERPOWERS! *headdesk*
Oooh, Whitney. Every time I want to punch you in the nose, you do something to make me want to hug you.
Lex has his crafty face on, and hasn't drunk any of his own drink. Hmmm.
Thank you, costume designer, for these suits you put on Lex. Well tailored shirts, slim cut pants, belts that emphasize certain assets. Oh, I am a happy girl!
Aaaand there we are. Poison!
Awwww, Lex. Your Daddy issues. *fond smile*
1x18 "Drone"
Oh god bees. *has the heebie jeebies*
Not that I mind bees, especially honey bees. But swarms of any bug give me the creeps.
(Yes, Alina, flinch away from the computer. Because the bees are definitely going to FLY OUT OF THE SCREEN AT YOU. Logic fail.)
Chica in red looks familiar.
"Some men are born to greatness." OH CHLOE.
FRECKLES!
Sorry, sorry. Shameless. It's just... Lex is shirtless.
Ug. I don't like this journalist lady. AT ALL.
(THough I do like that annoyance with her makes Lex nibble on his finger.)
GAAA. BEES.
1x19 "Crush"
That started out as fun and ended with an emotional facesmash!
Aww, poor pained artist. Who looks vaguely familiar?
She's totally gonna run away, isn't she?
Or not. Hand removal! That's both more gruesome and more fitting.
Ahh, credits gave me Adam Brody. That makes sense.
Ok, that army guy (air force?) looked familiar. A LOT familiar.
Chloe: Most men are from Mars, Clark. But you're from some distant planet I've never even heard of.
Chloe FTW!!
Hmmmm. That's either Lex's aunt? Or a well-preserved grandmother?
Ahh. A nanny, then.
Ya know, there are A WHOLE LOT of car crashes in this show.
AHAHAHAHAHAHA It's like every Merlin fic ever! First kiss = floating things!
Oh man, that scene between Lex and Daddy Luthor was lovely.
Oooh, Danny was the driver. Not the principal.
And there we are.
Really? Sex0rs moments after being told about a death (which admittedly, you caused)? I liked you Justin. I wanted to give you a chance. Now? Not so much.
Of course Chloe's in the barn. There are 90 million stabby, pointy, deathy things in the barn!
Also, Michael Rosenbaum deeeeefinitely got some sun, as his face is not at all the same colour as his head. Or maybe we're dialing back the makeup on his face. Either way, teeheee!
"Sonnet Sunday: free pick up line with purchase" Oh, Talon. You make me giggle.
OH MAN. I've no attachment to Whiney's dad, but way to pull the rug out from that happy moment, show.
Smallville: Our rain is glycerin!
1x20 "Obscura"
WTF horses, field, and epic music?
Oh man, and Lana's wearing a pink cord jacket with a peter pan collar. Sooooo classy.
Aaaand now Lana's the Freak of the Week (look at me with mah fancy new terminology!).
I'm glad we've progressed to Lana teasing Clark about Chloe. I like when everybody's friends!
Lana: We'll see Chloe again.
Vision: *shows up*
Uuuuuuh oh. Someone saw that! Aaand that'll be the driver for the finale, yeah?
Gaaa! What did Lex see?!
See there, Whitney? You go from horrible human being to Mr. Awesome every other episode.
Chloe: Clark Kent leaps tall theories in a single bound.
OH MY GOD CHLOE BE MINE FOREVER.
ALSO WRITERS. HEARTS! ALL THE HEARTS!!
A carnival. OF COURSE. Because we hadn't scared me properly yet tonight.
Oh, of COURSE it's the stupid investigator guy. That Lex owns. Bah. What's his name?
Little octagon of DOOOOOOOM!
(I'm really hoping that becomes a Thing, so I can constantly refer to it as the Octagon of Doom. Because let's be honest. If it is a Thing, nothing good will come of Lex having it.
Ahh, and it fits oh so perfectly on Clark's pod ship.
Briefly, finale predictions:
- Lex is going to discover something more tangible that maaaaybe links Clark to the crash site and/or Octagon of Doom.
- Prom/spring dance/whatever will happen. Chloe's dress will, indeed, be pink. Shit (other than dancing/making out) will go down. Lana's will be either teal or scarlet.
- Mommy and/or Daddy Kent will lecture Clark about being careful with his powers so people don't find out.
- Clark and Lana will either dance together or make mopey eyes at each other from across the dance floor.
- That stupid investigator Lex had (has?) under his thumb will reveal Secrets and then get dead.
- At least one more person will see and start to understand Clark's powers.
So let's do this!
1x21 "Tempest"
An entire season in juuuust over a week. I dunno whether to be proud or shamefaced.
Starting with a shot that emphasizes Lex'scrotch pants. A good start!
Music layering here is v. strange. Too soft to hear, but loud enough to be audible (unless I'm hearing music from elsewhere).
Well that was a shock! No more plant!
Ah, no. The music was there. I'm not crazy.
NICE CHOICE to have that brief confrontation under the helicopter. They can yell without sacrificing the emotion of a not-screamed line. Um. I'm typing fast. Words are hard. Scene = good.
Aaaarg! Daddy Kent, Lex did good things with the plant! You should like himso he and Clark can spend all their days happily together because he's not all bad!
OH GOD ENGAGEMENT. CALLING IT NOW.
Or not. A thank you. Bah, Whitney! There you go being human again.
Octagon of DOOOOOOM! However briefly.
AWWW! Touching scene between Clark and Lex.
Which Lex then ruined by pulling Clark's prints. Fail, sir. Friendship fail. Or is that just a special box to keep the Octagon of DOOOOOM in? Kinda looked like a fingerprint scanner. Huh.
"It'll be a night you won't forget." Ahh, so major plot thing is DEFINITELY going to happen at/around/during the dance.
Baaah. I want Clark and Chloe to get together already to it can end (amicably, if I had my way), and Clark and Lana can stop dancing around each other and properly fall in love. I prefer my UST in fic and only fic, apparently.
Clark Kent: Post-holer. Digging holes for posts.
Wait, flames?! I look away for 2 seconds and all of a sudden, Clark's on fire. And amusingly unphased. Heeey, gratuitous shirtlessness.
BAAAAHH. Icky reporter is icky!!
I do enjoy these Daddy Luther and Lex conversations. OH GOD HE'S SO NASTY. I WANT TO PUNCH HIM. A LOT.
THANK YOU, CHLOE, FOR SAYING WHAT EVERYBODY'S THINKING (about Clark dropping everything for Lana. I mean, not that it won't happen, but I'm glad somebody in-show said something).
Bwahahahaha! Stupid reporter man is named Nixon? OF COURSE.
Ahhhh! Here comes lecture! Ok, not entirely a lecture. More a very brief conversation.
And props to Clark for recognizing the Octagon of DOOOOM for what it is. (Props! SEE WHUT I DID THAR?)
OMG SO MUCH HATE FOR ROGER NIXON. He's going to ruin EVERYTHING!!!
Tangent while Nixon is monologuing smugly- I know we learned this last ep, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE that Lex's name is Alexander. I feel a bit dumb for not realizing it, but still.
OH LORD LEX IS DRESSING CLARK. My kink, let me show you it.
And props to Rosenbaum for tying that bow tie well (or pretending well) and for making occasional eye contact while doing so. That was either skill or good acting. It gets the Wardrober Seal of Approval.
Though Clark reeeeally needs to fix his collar tabs.
D'awwww. They're going to have a dance by themselves.
And I call TOTAL BS on the installed-for-the-dance lights (and mirror ball) being connected to the wall switch.
I don't understand slow dancing. It's not dancing, it's just swaying in place. Awkwardly.
WHOA CHLOE'S DRESS IS AWESOME. I don't love pink, but that's a winner! As is the fact that Clark's NOT wearing a red tie next to her pink dress. And NO ONE IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD has pinned a boutonniere that fast.
Could we chill we the storm references. Yes. A storm's coming. WE GET IT.
Ahh, Whitney wants to declare his undying love to Clark?
Oh god, Clark. The collar tabs. You're wearing a tux. Fix the tabs! They go BEHIND THE BOW TIE.
Wait, did Whitney just ask Clark to not-quite-date Lana while he goes off to shoot things?
So Whitney's got Lana's necklace. THAT'S going to be a plot point later. Possibly because it's Lana's, possibly because it's Kryptonite. But it's totes going to turn up.
Holy hell, I'm 30 minutes into this ep? But NOTHING'S HAPPENED! Awww, man. This is gonna be a cliffhanger ending, isn't it?
K, Roger Stupidhead is DEFINITELY going to die. He knows too much and isn't an engaging enough character to hang around forever.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH THEME SONG FOR THE WIN AHAHAHAHAHAH!
Nice subtle promo for the band, there.
Aww, Clark. You're quite the gentleman!
Seriously, show. There are A LOT of car crashes.
Awww, early 2000s CGI.
Hang on, aren't you supposed to lay flat in a ditch rather than hiding in your car? Or am I mixing up my natural disasters? ETA: Ah, Google confirms that I'm right and Lana fails Basic Tornado Safety. Which is concerning, as she lives IN KANSAS.
OH SHIT. Shit's gonna turn on! I say ship. Pod, really. Which now looks uncomfortably like a missile.
Clark: And I'm still here.
Alina: Which means disaster in 5... 4... 3...
Ah, there we are.
UNF. Lex can emphatically shout quotes ANY TIME.
Aww, I just went to rewind to watch the scene with Lex and Daddy Luthor again (this time not loosing bits to typing) and WHOA NO TIME LEFT THIS EP. Is DEFINITELY a cliffhanger!! ARRRRG (and this is why I'm watching it
OMG LOVE THE PHYSICALITY IN THIS SCENE! Violence and flying shit aside even, the fact that Daddy Luthor chases Lex around the room is AWESOME.
And WOW bloody-eyed Lex is CREEEEEEPY. Wait, but--
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! CLIFFHANGER OF AAAAUUGH!!!
Even knowing that I can haul out s2 RIGHT NOW I'm still all jittery!
Also, WIN for extending the storm noises over the credits.
And yeah. Those finale predictions are... not so accurate. Though in fairness, I was assuming we'd tie up AT LEAST ONE PLOT LINE IN THE SEASON FINALE. Apparently not.
Well, I got my wish for Lana being a stronger person. Except... not.
Chloe continues to rock my world, and Lex is deeeefinitely shifting farther towards to ambiguous side of "morally ambiguous."
